Greetings from Nancy’s 31st hotel room! Our roving reporter is on the scene in Asheville, North Carolina, where she gives Sarah the scoop on hurricane damage, what the politicized coverage has gotten wrong, and why it’s good to live near churches when catastrophe strikes. The two of them talk Ted Cruz vs. Colin Allred, as well as Kamala Harris vs. Bret Baier. Then it’s on to the New York Times’ latest story on University of Michigan’s DEI double-down.

Also discussed:

* What up with those shower half-doors?

* Fewer “talking points” Kamala, more Feisty Kamala

* Name someone more weasely than Ted Cruz. We’ll wait …

* “Whore’s bath”???

* FEMA controversy = not that controversial

* Does DEI cause plane crashes?

* How long will colleges ignore the ROI?

* Anatomy of Lies: Next week’s topic?

* What does it say about us that we love exposing liars?

Plus, the problem with the docu-series, the man who puts Sarah to sleep every night, Nancy needs a bath, and more!
